Summer Child

[Intro]
D  G  D  G
 
[Verse 1]
    D                          G
You see all the flowers in the weeds
       D                           G
You're scared of the dark when you sleep
    D                            G
You cover up your arms with your sleeves
                      D      G
Even in hundred degree heat
     D                  G
Your father was awfully mean
     D                 G
Your favorite color is green
   D                                    G
It reminds you of the summer you turned three
                                   D      G
Runnin' through sprinklers on your street
 
 
[Pre-Chorus]
        G             D            A
And you laugh and you dance in the wind
        G            D           A
And you sway and you hug and you kiss
            G          D          A
But there's darkness behind those eyes
     D        G
Even when you smile
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm         D
Oh, summer child
Bm                                 D
You don't have to act like all you feel is mild
Bm                                D
You don't really love the Sun, it drives you wild
       Bm            D
You're lyin', summer child
 
 
[Verse 2]
Em                 D                        A
Aren't you way too busy takin' carе of everybody
        B           G
To take carе of yourself?
Em                   D                                A
When the Sun goes missing, aren't the flowers just as pretty?
           B              D
Aren't the oceans just as deep?
             A                 Am
The trees as green? And as for me
           B        G*
I'll watch you weep
 
 
[Chorus]
Bm         D
Oh, summer child
Bm                                 D
You don't have to act like all you feel is mild
Bm                                D
You don't really love the Sun, it drives you wild
       Bm            D
You're lyin', summer child
